Multidrug-Resistant Bacteroides fragilis Bacteremia in a US Resident: An Emerging Challenge

Multidrug-Resistant Bacteroides fragilis Bacteremia in a US Resident: An Emerging Challenge

We describe a case of Bacteroides fragilis bacteremia associated with paraspinal and psoas abscesses in the United States.
